July 18 thru July 22, 2016 Forest City, Iowa

     July 18 through 22  Monday   The rally has started and we still have the motor home in the shop during the day getting our slide fixed and some other things that aren't working right. The rally is just across the street from the work shop and we go there in the morning to drop off the motor home for the repair men. There are so many people who have come to the yearly rally and have things worked on their rig during the day. I signed up for a jewelry class making button bracelets, with a 7 or 9 inch zipper and lots of buttons and a needle and thread. I never saw so many buttons in all my life, I picked out a lot of the glitzy buttons. Some were very large buttons in very bright colors. Kent went to a lot of seminars that have the vendors there who have the product that is installed in our RV's. He went to a class on the solor system thats on our RV. Also a class on the Direct TV antenna, we have on our roof and classes on the refrigerators, maintenance on toilets in RV's, and the Sprinter engine and chassis.
I went to a class on the microwaves to learn how to use the three ways of cooking with our microwave, It has a regular microwave, convection capping and roast or grill. I love the convection cooking and it is just like your oven at home and doesn't get all steamy while cooking like it does when microwaving. They have shuttles that take you down town and pick you up, so our friends and I did an ice-cream run everyday and Kent did his usual frappe. The weather is so hot and humid here, we run our air conditioning all day and night.
